For your information, I'm planning on making my new character (that recycles some of original Montse's design) wear a ballistic vest most of the time! That way, uh, I'm not forced to draw certain curves or bounciness! In most of the pictures. Ok, maybe in half of the sketches I have completed.

The world is no longer as it once was, moulded beyond recognition by the hands of its coming masters. Humanity is faced with a simple choice: evolve, or die.

Las Palmeras wrote:Considering the setting in Tohorin is a Weird Western, no the character is not Terasu, it's Rairai...whose bio is more of a brainstorm than a coherent story right now. I kinda like the story of a struggling bounty hunter though, I watched the Eastwood Dollars movies and the Mandalorian and I've been feeling inspired. So much that I've made several sketches after a very lethargic period.
I'm a reclusive type, but I have to confess that the end of 2020 was really hard on me (COVID related issues with my close family) and that my relative inactivity throughout the second half of December and most of January were both due to IRL business and depression; but now that things seem better, I've gotten back to the old hobby with some eagerness and I really want to try to flesh out characters better. I think I'm worse than George Lucas when it comes to that stuff: I can world-build and organize macro-scale fiction fairly well but my characters are damn cardboard cutouts with flat dialogue. My RP with Catsfern shows that I really need to exercise my narrative ability.
Designs for me are just another part of narrative ability because they convey personality; the most difficult thing has been balancing "sexy" with "capable". A lot of people that use anime characters seem to forget that. And I want somebody gritty and tough-looking.

Nah, Lord Tachanka as Lady Tachanka if I go the Ned Kelly route.

I'm definitely fond of the character just based off the bio aloneand I'd be lying if part of my getting back into M22 wasn't because I just watched the Mandalorian season 2. I'm glad to hear that you were getting into making the character, though.
Kiu Ghesik wrote:Funnily enough it's actually the opposite for me. I write more when shit goes bad, because it's an escape on my part.No comment on my activity recently.
And of course I'm far better at characters than macro-scale processes, as my bumbled efforts to explain colbureau show. Conceptualizing states or factions to some extent as characters works, but it can only go so far in that field.
And yeah, I'd say that dialogue in general is hard; that being said I really do think sortof!commie!Tepka's dialogue at least was great. Especially the metacommentary in it, that was really nice.

In my honest experience, designs can be fooling, for example, one of my characters, a certain Japanese woman, looks like a fairly cute and "sexy" person, but underneath that and you've got a person whose face got burned off during a Korean-centric conflict and a hatred faaar more powerful than a simple 5.56 round.
Speaking of that character, I've somehow managed to get a friend of mine, Terra Britania, to simp for her for shits and giggles.
...My standard operating procedure...sometimes is "Never judge a person by their portrait, but give your opinion on them once you've read about what they can do."
Las Palmeras wrote:Haha, yeah. I remember I used to like being stressed before working on assignments because I'd pull more effort if I didn't burn out. You've done a good job at conveying how Ghes society is formed in a micro scale though, it's like a Giovanni Levi book describing how world-views are formed and transformed...the bits about the Sky Mother and the use of tools sorta give out those vibes.
As for Tepka, I'd have to thank you and your advice on "protagonist-centered morality" IIRC. I do have the intent of making her a manipulative seductress, but also an ethnocentric patriot who thinks she's doing what's right...and also a conflicted person who actually does love the prince on a personal level despite disdaining what he represents.
I'm gonna make Rairai show her midriff in the start of her career because it looks cool and hot. Then she gets stabbed and decides to buy protection.

I think I only really noticed it recently because I saw one of those same "MT-PMT nation that exists to spew numbers onto the page and go 'haha, i desert stormed ur poor-ass shithole nation, look at how smart i am i read tom clancy once'" people call a rather well-written bit of FT material wank just because it happened to be described as not being bad at its role, and it just sort of irked me the wrong way.
As a fully MT nation I would honestly say MT and PMT are the worst tech levels for wank on NS right now.
